Peralta back to Nashville

After their game Monday night against Houston, the Brewers optioned right-hander Wily Peralta back to Class AAA Nashville as expected.

Peralta was returned to Nashville because reliever Kameron Loe is rejoining the club after being away three games on bereavement leave to attend his grandfather's funeral.

During his three-day stay, Peralta made his major-league debut with an inning of relief Sunday, surrendering three hits and a run with one strikeout. His fastball was clocked as high as 97 mph and manager Ron Roenicke said everyone in the organization really likes the up side of Peralta.

Peralta is slated to make his next start Thursday for Nashville.
